How to read these tables

Every game has two splits: the share of TICKETS on each side (the crowd) and the share of MONEY (the dollars). Most days they roughly agree. The rows in this report are the days they did not - sides where the money share ran at least 8 points ahead of the ticket share, meaning fewer, larger, more serious wagers drove one side while the crowd leaned the other way. Researchers, writers and bettors are welcome to cite these tables with a link.

Watch it live, not just daily

The daily snapshots above come from the same feed that powers the live sharp money tracker and the line movement tracker, with per-sport detail on every betting splits board. The reverse line movement guide explains what it means when the line itself starts following the money.

Frequently asked questions

What is a public betting report?

A log of how the betting public's tickets and the market's actual dollars split on each day's games. When the money share on a side runs well ahead of its ticket share, fewer but much larger wagers are driving it - the classic footprint of professional action.

How is this data collected?

Each day the Wise Guy Team systems snapshot the biggest sharp-grade divergences (a money-vs-ticket gap of 8 points or more) from live market splits across MLB, NFL, college football, NBA, WNBA, NHL and college basketball. Snapshots are kept as logged - nothing is edited after the fact.

Can I cite or republish these numbers?

Yes, with attribution and a link to this page. The report exists to make public-vs-sharp money behavior visible; each table names the date, game, market and the exact percentages.

Does this report contain picks?

No. It is market observation only: where the crowd and the money disagreed. The Wise Guy Team's own plays are a separate, documented members board.
